Your Practice is Your EthicsBy: Mr. Jon A. Schmitdt

• Quote: “Perhaps at least part of the problem is confusion about the nature of engineering ethics. It is simply a set of rules to follow or a group of behaviors to avoid, over and above the technical aspects of the profession? Could there be more to ethics that that – maybe even something positive?”
• Quote: “ I advocate treating ethics as something that is integral to practice, not supplemental to it.”
• He goes on in the article to state that this is known as “virtue ethics”
Quote: “Virtue ethics is less concerned with what someone has done and will do than with what kind of person and engineer someone is and will become”
